Clearly, we are going to have a number of excellent candidates as
mentees. Is there any possibility of springing more money from
ICANN to go to the end users? There is a big budget now for
outreach....<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all<br>
<br>
I would like to apply for the ICANN Mentor Pilot Program as a
mentee. Please find below the details of my application.<br>
<br>
I am currently a student of the law at the National Law School
of India University, Bangalore, in my final year of study.<br>
<br>
I was introduced to ICANN via my work for the Centre for
Internet and Society, an activist and research organisation
based out of Bangalore/New Delhi. I was fascinated by the idea
of internet governance, especially given the fact that we stand
on the brink of a transition of the likes that has no precedent.
I am very eager to be a part of this process. I was fortunate
enough to be able to raise my submissions at the ICANN 54
conference at Dublin.<br>
<br>
My work for ICANN has included a detailed analysis of their
Documentary Information Disclosure Policy, where I broke down
all the DIDP responses made and tried to examine obstacles in
the path of full and transparent disclosure. I have also been a
part of discussions at the CCWG Accountability meetings and
working groups, and have been following the transition process
with keen interest as it unfolds. As a student of the law, the
development of an entirely new system of regulating the internet
is fascinating, and has gripped my attention<br>
<br>
However, it cannot be denied that given my lack of a technical
background, and the peculiar and unique nature of ICANN policy,
there is still much about this ecosystem that is out of my
reach. I would be extremely grateful if I were chosen to be a
mentee as a part of this program as I am eager to participate
fully and meaningfully at the deliberations in Marrakesh and
beyond, through the mentorship of someone with experience who
will be able to guide me through the process. As my work has
shown, I am deeply invested in attempting to make clarity of the
work I have done so far, especially towards creating a more
representative, participatory and transparent Post Transition
